EPA TO REQUIRE LABELING OF INERT PESTICIDE INGREDIENTS
News Date October 06, 2009
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced last week plans to require labeling of all inert ingredients in pesticides. EPA contends that making the information readily available will help users of pesticides as well as consumers to make more informed health decisions and will protect the environment. The announcement came after several dozen non-government organizations filed petitions with EPA asking for the information. (Contact: Nathan Bowen)
